Feasible Impossibilities

I have had a webcam feed embedded in the main Flash based portion of my site for some time now (take a look here, click on the webcam option in the menu). You might catch the top of my head in there during the day. I have been working on an article, to be published soon, that explains how to implement something very similar with Flash MX and ordinary household appliances. You’ll be surpised how easy it is to do. The thing that really gets me excited is reading about Macromedia Flash Communication Technology and pondering the possibilities. Has everyone seen this: The Dream Domain ? It was the Macromedia site of the day on April 20th, 2002. Take a look through it and I’m sure it will trigger questions like, “How the heck did they do that with Flash!?” I also just today ran across this thread: “Flash Cam Test” in the Macromedia Flash Handhelds Forum Take a look at the example URL posted in that thread showing off what can be done with Flash 5 and a Pocket PC. This is the kind of stuff that gets me excited about working with Flash. Keep an eye out for my article with example code soon.

Update: Someone else replied to the same thread. Take a look at this Flash based webcam of a lab at the Chungnam University in Korea
